Resumen
[ES] Este estudio se centra en el uso de la Pronunciación original (OP) por parte de los cantantes líricos
para la Interpretación histórica (HIP). El periodo, conocido como Inglés moderno temprano (EME)
1500-1700, coincide a grandes rasgos con el renacimiento y barroco inglés. Se estudiarán diferentes
estilos de transcripción fonética y se evaluará su eficacia para los alumnos/as de canto. La
Pronunciación original ha sido investigada ampliamente para la poesía y el teatro. El objetivo
principal es aplicar estos conocimientos al campo de la música clásica. Igualmente se analizan las
ventajas, así como los posibles obstáculos y dificultades, que tendría incluir la Pronunciación original
en la programación del conservatorio. Como ejemplo práctico los alumnos/as interpretarán una
canción renacentista de 1600 con tres tipos diferentes de dicción.

The language period to be studied--Early Modern English (EME) 1500-1700--coincides roughly with the English Renaissance and Baroque. Besides, different fonetic transcription styles are analysed and assessed regarding their effectiveness for voice students. OP has been extensively researched for drama and poetry. The main objective is to apply this knowledge to the field of classical music. Furthermore, the study considers the advantages--as well as the potential difficulties and hurdles--of including an OP training in the music school curricula. As a practical example, the students will perform a Renaissance song from 1600 with three different dictions.
